Press Release Body: RTS Life Science Meets Demand for Small Scale Automated Sample
Storage using Industry Standard Labware

Manchester, UK (September 2 2008). RTS Life Science, a worldwide supplier of
automated sample management and drug delivery testing systems, today announces the
launch of the RTS A2, a new highly versatile solution for small scale automated
sample storage. Designed for use with the widest possible range of industry standard
labware, the RTS A2 offers unparalleled levels of flexibility and is RTS Life
Science\'s latest and smallest addition to its extensive automated sample management
portfolio.

The RTS A2 is a modular automated storage system that enables the storage of samples
in a controlled temperature environment. To maximise sample integrity, this
innovative system cherry picks samples, stored in a variety of industry standard
microtubes and vials, at the storage temperature.
Utilising industry standard robotics and RTS\' robust sample tracking software, the
RTS A2 offers a reliable, flexible and cost-effective entry point to automated
sample storage and retrieval.

With a capacity of up to 76,800 microtubes / 1000 plates, a single A2 system can be
readily expanded by the addition of a second or third unit in order to increase
capacity in line with the growth in sample collections. A2 is quick and easy to
install, requiring minimal facilities, simple to operate and can be used either as a
stand-alone system or integrated into other automation via its\' external transfer
station.

The new RTS A2 comes complete with a 12 month warranty and a number of aftersales
support and development package options. The addition of A2 to its product portfolio
means RTS Life Science is now able to offer scaleable automated sample management
solutions whatever the size of organisation, all backed by RTS after-sales service
and support.

From academia, through small biotech to large pharma, the RTS range of automated
storage and retrieval products including A2, SmaRTStore, Sample-Store and
Compact-Store, cater for standalone, integrated, distributed, satellite, archive and
working storage needs. With excellent storage densities in all products, RTS
solutions are highly space efficient and offer safe, secure and reliable storage for
both chemical and biological samples.
